The Final Frontier

[Digital Matt]

Space, or the middle east?

Studio shot with black foamcore background, a light behind it, and pinholes for stars.

I had been thinking about doing this for a while, so I gave it a go last night.

wow Matt, very nice!
my only complaint is the glare...probably hard to control, eh?

Ha, nice idea. I like it a bunch. Agree that the glare on the globe is a mild distraction.

That's a really cool idea, great pic, I agree about the glare, but its not a big deal.

This is pretty original Matt. I like it! Did you color the "stars" digitally or use some kind of colored tape or something on the back?

 

[Digital Matt]

Thanks everyone The glare is a problem yes, but hard to avoid with a very shiny surface on the globe. The problem was, I don't have a light that works just perfect to light it. A flashlight is too narrow of a beam, and the light I used was a bit too wide to control.
I think of it as clouds

The color of the stars happened naturally, most likely from heat on the sensor. I think this was a 3.2 second exposure.

Like it!


You could slip this in with some holiday snaps! When people are cycling through them & getting bored you could say it was from the flight home! :shock:
